Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a solar cell, and more particularly, to a thin film type solar cell having a plurality of single cells connected in series. Background technique
[0002] Solar cells with semiconducting properties convert light energy into electricity.
[0003] The structure and principle of the solar cell according to the prior art will be briefly introduced below. A solar cell is formed in a PN junction structure in which a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor are combined. When sunlight is irradiated on the solar cell having the PN structure, holes (+) and electrons (-) are generated due to the energy of the sunlight. Since an electric field is generated in the region of the PN junction, holes (+) move to the P-type semiconductor, and electrons (-) move to the N-type semiconductor, thus forming a power source as the potential arises.
[0004] Solar cells are mainly divided into silicon crystal solar cells and thin film...
